Vietnam's Strategic Positioning Between China and America

Vietnam has strategically positioned itself between China and America, capitalizing on the tensions between the two countries. While it relies on China for trade relations, Vietnam also seeks to be defended against China's territorial ambitions. The country benefits from its close proximity to China and lower wage costs, attracting companies that want to diversify their production away from China, particularly to bypass trade barriers with the US. This favorable positioning has made Vietnam a hotspot for foreign investment and trade, creating significant growth potential.
